Rotten Stump Cake is simply delicious

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare the dough, sift the flour through a sieve.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add slightly softened butter to the sifted flour and chop the mixture with a knife. Mix sour cream, egg and sugar in a separate bowl. We also add flour and butter crumbs, as well as soda slaked with vinegar. Mix all ingredients again.

3. STEP 3

   

   Use your hands to bring the dough to readiness.

4. STEP 4

   

   To avoid chapping, place the dough in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour gelatin with cold water, let stand for 10 minutes and heat until completely dissolved. But we don't boil it.

6. STEP 6

   

   To prepare the cream, combine sour cream, sugar and cooled gelatin. Beat all ingredients with a mixer for 2-3 minutes and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

7. STEP 7

   

   Take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into 6 parts.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll out each piece of dough thinly, approximately 2-3 mm thick.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place a pre-prepared filling of chopped dried apricots, dates and prunes on each rolled out layer of dough. 2 layers of each ingredient.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll the prepared dough sheets into rolls. Makes 6 rolls.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the finished rolls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for about half an hour at 180*.

12. STEP 12

    

    Align the edges of the baked rolls and cut them hot into equal pieces 3-4 centimeters long. We turn the resulting remains into crumbs and use them to decorate the cake.

13. STEP 13

    

    Grease the bottom of the cylindrical shape with a small amount of cream and lay the rolls vertically, as tightly as possible.

14. STEP 14

    

    Soak the laid first layer generously in cream and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Similarly, lay the next layers of pieces, fill with cream and put in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours to soak. Depending on the size of the mold, you may end up with two or three layers.

15. STEP 15

    

    We take the cake out of the refrigerator, sprinkle it with nuts on top, and crushed biscuit dough crumbs on the sides.

16. STEP 16

    

    You can make mushroom figurines from dates. From one date - a stem, and if you cut the date in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through and unfold it, you will get a cap.

17. STEP 17

    

    Our “Rotten Stump” cake with dried fruits is ready. We serve this exquisite delicacy with tea, coffee, you can offer the kids aromatic cocoa, and enjoy its amazing taste.

Food for good, thanks for the good recipe! I baked it a couple of days ago for my mother-in-law’s guests. I immediately made a double portion and did not regret it. The cake turned out tall and big. Everyone was very pleased with the cake: its taste, design and beautiful cut. I collected the remains of the cake and we ate it at home. We really liked it too. On the second day, the cake gets wet even better and becomes more tender and tasty. We loved this recipe. We will also make a double portion at once. I'm putting it in my cookbook!
